i want to create aliases for email
in the file aliases at the end i added
first.lastname: first.lastname@domain.com
i do newaliases
i send a test message to first.lastname@mydomain.com
the aliases is recipient is not receiving my note ...
Your question is a bit confusing, I'll try to reword it and see if it helps:
You have created a user. You want mail sent to another name to be recieved by this user. For example:
You have a user "carl". You want carl to recieve mail sent to your domain for 'webmaster'. To do this you will create an alias (how you create the alias is determined by your mail server (MTA) but I'll assume postfix since I love it ) so you will open up your /etc/aliases file and enter:
webmaster: carl
After you will need to run:
newaliases
And then reload postfix to make the change immediate:
postfix reload
You can also/instead run:
postalias
Which appears to be more "postfix oriented"? And from the look of the man page takes care of newaliases in the same keystroke and makes the changes happen more rapidly.
Email rarely disappears without leaving a clue. Have you tried telneting to port 25 and manually injecting an email to the address that gets rerouted to Hotmail?
sorry i dont understand inject email ...
What do you mean by posting the session ?
maybe i did not enable internet acces to port 25 ... iptables or ... ???
Ok, so when you are on your subnet and you telnet to port 25 on the system, what happens what you attempt to send email to the user that get rerouted to Hotmail? When you say "working fine", does the email get to the Hotmail user when you send from inside your subnet?
